Dry traps in a home that sits empty
Part-year vacancy lets traps dry out, which often explains a smell at the door. Each trap holds water that blocks sewer gas. Run every drain for about a minute and flush each toilet twice. If it persists, call us. See seasonal home drain check.

A lakeside town on the Lake Wales Ridge
Avon Park is a small city in Highlands County, on the Lake Wales Ridge and the shore of Lake Verona, with a historic downtown of older brick buildings and the Avon Park Air Force Range to the east. Housing is older frame and block homes near the lakes, a great many manufactured-home and retirement communities and rural lots on septic. Many residents are here part of the year. One ZIP code covers the city. Septic is common, so the technician asks whether you are on septic or sewer, and where the cleanout is. Large oaks send wide, strong roots toward any loose joint in an older clay or cast iron line, and the usual signal is a drain that slows every few months and clears with a cutter. The technician cuts the roots, jets the wall and runs a camera to show where they came in. Roots can return, and the technician says so plainly. A home that sits empty for part of the year has dry traps, and a line resting for months can reveal a narrowing on the first busy day. See tree root removal, seasonal home drain check and septic home drain clogs. If you share a lakeside lot or a duplex, say so when you call, and tell the technician who else uses the line.
See the pipe before deciding anything.
Reading the pattern: one fixture or many
A lone slow fixture almost always means its own short branch. If two or three slow at once, or the lowest drain fills first, the main line, or on septic the line to the tank, is the likelier culprit. A camera settles what the pattern leaves open. See main sewer line clogs.
Price given before any work begins.

Run every tap, flush every toilet twice and check floor drains and the washer standpipe. Note any gurgling. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility and 911 from outside. Otherwise call us about any slow drain. See seasonal home drain check.

Avon Park is the oldest city in Highlands County. Oliver Martin Crosby settled it in 1884, and a local woman persuaded him to name it after her hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. It was incorporated as the Town of Lake Forest in 1886 and as the City of Avon Park on January 1, 1926.
